The Hopkinton Parent Teacher Association is encouraging parents and teachers to become members of the organization, which they say provides more than $120,000 worth of volunteer hours to the local schools each year. Everyone who signs up to be a member of the group before Sept. 27 will be registered to win one of three gift certificates donated by Colella’s Supermarket on Main Street. In addition, members get a free copy of this year’s student directory, early access and discounts to extracurricular activities, school communications, and volunteer opportunities.
